Megabus.com, the first city-to-city, express bus company with fares from $1, has announced expansion to California and Nevada, with frequent daily service beginning Dec. 12, 2012.

California and Nevada residents will be able to travel express to/from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Calif., Riverside, Calif., Las Vegas, Sparks/Reno, Nev., Sacramento, Calif., and San Jose, Calif. for as low as $1. Customers can now begin booking travel at www.megabus.com.

Fares start as low as $1 every day and increase gradually as the traveling date gets closer. Customers are encouraged to book early to secure $1 fares.

"Express bus service from new hubs in San Francisco and Los Angeles is another way megabus.com keeps Americans connected," said Mike Alvich, megabus.com's vice president of marketing and public relations. "As California and Nevada residents continue to look for ways to stretch their dollar, megabus.com is committed to safe, affordable travel during this holiday season and beyond."

To celebrate the new service, during the first week of travel, Dec. 12-19, all tickets will be $1. Megabus.com always offers fares as low as $1, with many other affordable fares on all of its services, officials said.

"Megabus.com, which previously served West Coast residents in 2007-2008, has returned based on customer demand," said Alvich. "We've seen impressive growth throughout North America and are confident that our 21st century double-decker buses with Wi-Fi and power outlets combined with our outstanding prices will be a success among California and Nevada residents."
